We Can’t Wait: Maintaining Progress on Climate Shelley Poticha, Director, Urban Solutions September 25, 2017

These Are Unprecedented Times Opportunity of clean energy technology is better than ever Public is mobilized People are feeling the pain of inaction

Trump’s EO creates an ever-widening gap By 2030, Trump’s executive order would result in an emissions gap of nearly 1,700 million tons compared to a 2 degrees pathway Obama Admin Gap of 1,680 MMT to reach 2 degrees pathway Source: Historical data is from EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory, 1990-2015. Climate Action Plan and Trump EO projections are derived from the Rhodium Group, “Trump’s Regulatory Rollback Begins”, March 2017.

Maintaining Local + State Progress

Policy & Market Alignment States adopt policies and direct utilities toward: -- energy efficiency programs and investment -- renewable portfolio standards -- vehicle standards, EV infrastructure, transit -- State & regional carbon markets --Equitable rate design & utility business models --Incorporating future climate impacts into infrastructure design and land conservation programs State Cities can lead and show demand: -- Deep energy efficiency retrofits & solar on municipal buildings -- Using procurement for renewables & fleets -- Benchmarking ordinances & One-stop-shops -- Congestion charging zones -- Solar equity programs for disadvantaged communities -- Land use, place-making, urbanism City

Mitigation Isn’t Enough – Resiliency must be a priority for all of us A recent study by Rice University found that FEMA failed to capture 75 percent of flood damages within their flood maps between 1999 and 2009. FEMA flood maps are the primary source for how the government and insurance companies evaluate flood risk and insurance premiums. There are collectively trillions of dollars worth of property that rely on these maps being accurate.
